Early the next morning, the fleet set sail and left Dagukou.

It is a countercurrent from Chengshantou to Dagukou, and it takes five days of effort. The return journey is naturally downstream, and you can reach Chengshan in two days.

Jin Ke told Zhao Hao that because there were too many prisoners and the weather was too hot, it was stuffy and smelly in the bottom of the ship, and he would die in a few days. Although it is not a pity to die of a widow, it is a pity that the free labor that is easy to catch will die in vain.

Therefore, he asked Wang Rulong to take the fleet of Wuwei boats to Gapo Island not far south of Tamna Island, and use the barracks of Li Chao's naval army to detain prisoners and wait for rendezvous.

Therefore, the fleet did not follow the current to the south along the Daming coastline, but returned to Tamna Island by the same route.

As a result, it took a three-day voyage and a full six days to reach the island of Gabo.

~~

Gabo Island is boxy, almost a square with a side of a kilometer. A long headland protrudes from the south of the island, forming a natural haven where Wang Rulong's fleet is anchored.

However, the black-tailed ship is similar to a fortune ship, with a sharp bottom like a knife, and does not dare to anchor easily, so it can only anchor in deep water. Then, with the captured ten Korean sword boats, the marines were sent to the island.

There was a post of the Li Dynasty on the island, and a dozen or so Korean sailors were stationed to monitor the Japanese who were attacking from the east and south, and they had set the beacon fire before.

These sailors live in a harsh environment and are treated very poorly, not only do they have no share of the spoils, but they often do not even have enough to eat. So where is there any spirit of resistance? Not to mention that it is the people of the Celestial Empire, even if it is the Japanese who have landed on the island, they will also surrender immediately.

After controlling the situation on the island, the security team brought down the captives by boat and locked them in the barracks on the island. It's still crowded, but at least it's much better than in a stuffy cabin.

Although the fleet has food, the Jiangnan group has no reason to raise prisoners in vain, only rules that allow prisoners to sublimate their souls in labor. Wang Rulong ordered them to tear down the dilapidated trestle bridge on the island, and then cut down wood and quarry to rebuild a larger pier.

These days, more than 600 Japanese prisoners, plus more than 100 prisoners of the Li Dynasty, got up at dawn and began to work under the bayonets of the marines.

Of course, there is still a difference between the Japanese and the Li Dynasty.

All the hard work, tiring and dangerous work on the construction site were undertaken by the Japanese prisoners.

As for the prisoners of the Li Dynasty, they either worked as foremen to monitor the work of the Japanese prisoners, or cooked and delivered food, and did some lighter work.

Even the worst can be mixed with a lumberjack.

Because swords and axes have lethality, it is impossible for Japanese prisoners to reach them. Therefore, although those Li Dynasty people were a little tired and tired, because of the trust of the Celestial Empire adults, they felt supreme honor, and they were particularly energetic in cutting down trees.

Not to mention those Li Dynasty people who have been given a little bit of power, that little leather whip is snapping! The Japanese prisoners are not lazy, even if they are not lazy, they will be caught and given a chance.

As for the North Koreans who cook, they deliberately mix bran and grass blades in rice and sand in rice balls. It is even more common to deliberately throw it on the ground and spit in the pot when putting it away.

In the face of the leather whips of the overseers of the Li Dynasty, the Japanese prisoners dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and while silently enduring, they cursed the sticks in their hearts. Unknowingly, the object of hatred was shifted from the coast guard team that eliminated them to Li Chaoren.

Wang Rulong's division of prisoners was learned from Tong Zigong, which could make the prisoners clear and hateful to each other, which would make it easier to manage the prisoners and greatly reduce the burden of supervision.

Later historians, when studying Director Tong's concentration camp, have criticized this practice for being too rough, not only did it not respect basic human rights, but it also led to riots.

But they ignore the ordinary people of this era, regardless of China, Japan and North Korea, they all survived hardships, and their endurance far exceeded that of later generations countless times. As long as you have food and sleep, you won't feel unbearable.

Therefore, Director Tong found that as long as he didn't deduct from the food, even if the management was perverted, the captives would be obedient, even if it was a thousand years of killing......

By the time Zhao Hao's fleet arrived on Gabo Island, a rudimentary wharf had taken shape.

However, such a large fleet could not be accommodated by a small dock on the island of Gabo, and the fleet had to float on the sea and take turns to dock and unload.

Fortunately, the bottom of the sand boat is flat and shallow, so you can directly sit on the beach and unload the cargo, not afraid of running aground. When the cargo on the ship is unloaded, it will naturally float again. Otherwise, it will take days just to unload the cargo.

The planks of the Pingjiang were set up on the dock, and heavily armed guards poured down to form a seemingly chaotic but very elaborate defensive line. It's not that he can't believe Wang Rulong, but there are too many prisoners of war on the island, and Gao Wu can't be careless.

After confirming that there was no threat, Gao Wu motioned to ask Gongzi to disembark.

Wang Rulong and the others who came to greet him stood straight, and Captain Wang also specially arranged military music to welcome his son.

Hearing the ecstatic suona sound, Zhao Hao's legs were weak and he almost didn't fall into the sea.

Zhao Gongzi whispered to Secretary Ma behind him: "You must get a trumpet, otherwise the good security team will be taken into the Yangge team." ”

Secretary Ma smiled and wrote it down.

"Welcome, Childe!" Wang Rulong saluted the security team.

"Take a break, stop playing." Zhao Hao patted Wang Rulong's arm and half-jokingly said: "Qi Dashuai is better than me in everything, but this music is similar to me." ”

"Childe is too modest." Wang Rulong hurriedly stopped the suona and gongs and drums, and said with a smile: "You are good at winning." ”

Secretary Ma, who struggled to endure the laughter, secretly said that the second half of the son's sentence was really not humble.

"Let's do it again and make it look decent." Zhao Hao said, looking at the security guards wearing the gunman's battalion people's strong uniforms, but the chests were embroidered with very modern police titles, which looked a little nondescript. He added: "There are also police uniforms, which should also be well designed." ”

Secretary Ma hurriedly wrote it down in the small book, otherwise the son would forget about this stubble when he turned around.

"It takes time and effort." Jin Ke on the side said softly: "Childe and the group are busy with important matters now, let's talk about it when they are free in the future." ”

"There are no small things in the security team." Zhao Hao said lightly: "You can take care of this matter, I'll ask people to get a few sets of plans when I go back, let's pick one together." ”

"Yes!" Jin Ke and Wang Rulong responded at the same time, feeling warm in their hearts.

"Let's go around the island." Zhao Hao said with a smile: "I've been to Jeju Island so many times, but I haven't been to Gapo Island yet." ”

"Childe has been to Tamna?" Wang Rulong was taken aback.

"Oh, I dreamed of it, and I made money on the island." Zhao Hao knew that he was speechless, but he didn't bother to hide it.

"......" Wang Rulong is not a person who eats by patting horses after all, and he doesn't know what to do next.

~~

With an area of less than one square kilometer, there are no mountains or rivers, and it is a flat desert island.

As the first overseas island occupied by Jiangnan Group, it is really a bit of a bump.

Fortunately, the groundwater is quite abundant, so it is still possible to garrison troops.

Zhao Hao turned around, there was nothing to look at bare, he was on the beach on the north side of the island, looking at Tamna Island four or five miles away.

"This island will belong to the Coast Guard from now on."

When he said this, he thought about it without thinking about it, this was actually the territory of the Li Dynasty.

"Yes. Once the maritime trade is on the right track, this route will be very busy, and the coast guard will definitely not be able to escort them one by one, so it is still necessary to set up a cruising base here. The land here can also be cultivated, so it is perfect as a station. ”

Jin Ke didn't remind Zhao Hao, but went on with it. In his opinion, an enclave like an island would have belonged to whoever occupied it.

Could it be that Li Chaoshui still dared to come to the conquest?

"But it's still too small for a transit point for merchant and cargo ships." Zhao Hao sighed lightly, stared at Tamluo Island not far away, and said, "I still have to eat that island." ”

"Huh?" Jin Ke and Wang Rulong were so shocked that they couldn't speak. Childe's appetite is too big, right? Tamna Island is a large island of 1,800 square kilometers. The area is 2,000 times the size of Gabo Island, and it is the size of 25 Xishan Islands?!

Want to eat it without fear of choking?

Moreover, the Li Dynasty set up three cities in one pastor, two counties, nine towns, ten water war stations, twenty-five beacon towers and thirty-eight Yantai on Jeju Island, with a total of 450,000 people, 2,000 garrison soldiers, and a naval division of Jeolla Province stationed here.

Although with the combat effectiveness of the security team, it is possible to sweep the garrison on the island. But Li Chao has a very strong obsession with Tamna Island, and no matter how well-behaved he is, he will send a large army to recover it.

Even if the Li Dynasty's army did not dare to come, they would definitely go to Beijing to complain. When the time comes, the court will investigate it, even if the son can cover it, it will be troublesome after all.

And after the invasion, how to maintain the system of governance? Do you want to kill all the forty or fifty thousand Li Dynasty people?

When the two thought about it, they felt that the idea of annexing Tamna Island was too whimsical.

Seeing that the mouths of the two of them were open, they could stuff a goose egg, Zhao Hao laughed and said, "You guys are too inexperienced in this area." ”

"Yes." The two nodded sincerely, and said in their hearts that this kind of experience, it seems that no one in the entire Ming Dynasty has it, right?

"Yes, Tamna Island is too big, and the Li Dynasty has been in business for a long time, so we can't swallow it in one bite." Zhao Hao said with a relaxed expression: "Then eat one bite at a time." There is a way that water drops through stones, ropes and saws are broken, as long as we are arched day by day, one day the water will come to fruition, and the whole island can fall into our hands. ”

Saying that, he smiled at Wang Rulong and said, "Let's go, let's take your blacktail boat, take a detour, and see where this first mouth is." ”

"Yes." Wang Rulong responded and asked Zhao Hao to go back to the dock and get on the boat. All warships are in combat readiness and ready to sail.

As they were talking and returning to the docks, a stench suddenly came.

Zhao Gongzi covered his nose and looked around, and saw two people coming out of the camp with dung buckets.

In an instant, Zhao Hao thought that Xu Ergongzi and Xu Erye on Xishan Island had moved to Gabo Island.

But when you look closely, these two are still very young, and one of them is still a thief, obviously not Erxu.

"That Japanese is Matsuura Jinshin, the lord of the Hirado Domain, and the other is Park Sung-in, the younger brother of Park Sung-in, the envoy of the Jeolla Right Sect of the Lee Dynasty." Wang Rulong hurriedly introduced: "They can't do heavy work, so they let them do this in accordance with the practice of the son's 'the highest status pours night incense'......"

ps. There is something at home today, and I can only change it twice, sorry.
